Overall Experience

This is a fantastic nursery. Each and every member of staff is invested in the development of the children. The nursery has a great ethos and the outdoor space is unlike any other. My child has attended this nursery for just over 2 years and has come so far with her development milestones, social skills

and academic ability. The staff devote much of their personal time to making each day a new and exciting experience for the children. Events and trips are regularly organised to give the children something to look forward to in addition to gaining independence. The staff actively ask about and implement feedback from parents regarding their children, working as a team to meet each child's needs. I thoroughly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

The nursery has rendered quality care since my daughter was enrolled there. The staff are all friendly and welcoming. They are supportive and helpful in raising the little ones under their care. The children are empowered to be well-rounded and not only learn about the standard and basic classroom lessons

but also about self-improvement and development. I am extremely satisfied with the services Alba Nursery is offering and I am eternally grateful for their support and help.

Overall Experience

For us, my child and me as well, the nursery is more than just a place. This place is like our second home. The staff knows and wants to always know more about my child so it progresses well. My child is a SEN child and I've been welcomed with a pure heart. The staff provided everything for my child

so he felt safe and happy. My son goes and comes from the nursery with a huge smile. Always happy. The staff tells me everything that is happening during the day as my child does not communicate yet as he should in his normal age. I never had any worries even when he started a year ago because I had my two older daughters in the nursery too. Same great experience this time. I am overjoyed with the staff and this place and I am recommending the nursery to whoever asks for a good place. The Alba is the best place with outstanding facilities. I love the staff and the things they do for children. I can see how my child progresses from week to week. Thank you Alba!

Very good, helpful, very nice nursery. Helpful staff, who helped me when I needed it. They were very understanding and were there every step when my son needed. They taught him in a fun way and he comes home to show me what he as done that day and sings songs with me. Thank you very much.

Overall Experience

The warmth, expertise and dedication of the staff at this Nursery makes it an excellent place for little ones. My son has been attending since August 2021 and we are so happy with the nursery. My eldest attended until August 2018 and the fact the staff remembered him and his specific habits says much

about how much they focus on the children. Activities are varied and are focused on set themes for the week. Parents are kept up to date through an app with a daily diary and more focused golden moments around how the child is developing. The focus on mental wellbeing in early years (yoga, mindfulness) is extremely welcomed for establishing good habits early. The concept of the 'kindness jar' is excellent, not least because of the positive impact it has had on behaviour at home. As a parent, I am especially grateful for the flexibility of nursery staff. They, more than anything, are what makes this nursery such a good choice for my children. The nursery is situated in a sports pavilion and the outdoor space is well utilised through a play area in which there is a bug hotel, gardening area and before harvest they even had a scarecrow! It is a nice touch when children prepare food they have grown to have as part of meals and snacks. Many celebrations are marked at the nursery, from Christmas, Diwali, Eid, bonfire night and Halloween. For the latter, the staff put on an excellent party for the children including spooky snacks and face painting. They mixed fun with opportunities to learn and the children had a great day. Parent voice is taken on board - for example, they recently introduced an option to send a packed lunch or have a pre-prepared paid-for meal. This flexibility allows parents to do what suits them best. Overall, a gem of a nursery which does all and more that you would want an early years setting to do.

I only have good things to say about this nursery, I have my two children in this nursery, the oldest is almost 4 years old and the youngest is 1 year old, both started around 7/8 months in this nursery. This nursery may not be very big inside but I can say that there is nothing missing, the children

have lots of toys, they do a lot of activities, they learn a lot and most importantly, the employees are very loving, they treat our children and parents like family, we all work together for the children's well-being. The outdoor space is very spacious and children love exploring there. I recommend this nursery without excitation. I'm very happy to have made the decision to put my children in this nursery.

Overall Experience

Both my son and daughter are extremely happy at Alba - Early Years Day Nursery. The staff are very caring and the outdoor space the nursery has is excellent. My children love planting in the garden and going on nature walks. The nursery provides lots of creative activities for the children. I have seen

an improvement in both my children's speech and language after starting nursery. It's really improved their development and social skills. My daughter will be starting school in September and I feel she is fully ready due to her time at nursery. My son is 2 and he is constantly learning new songs from nursery which he sings at home. He can count, sing his ABC and enjoys chatting about his day at nursery. I would recommend Alba -Early Years Day Nursery. Thank you to all the lovely staff there.

We absolutely loved (and love) having your children with us. Cannot wait to see how they continue to grow and thrive.

Overall Experience

My son attended the nursery aged 18 months - 4 years. He was really happy there and we both liked the fact that there were plenty of opportunities to use the massive field and trees in the rugby pitch grounds. He would often come home and tell me about things he got up to as part of his learning. There

were many opportunities for parents to come in and see their children in various parades/singsongs and I have many happy pictures taken there during his time. I now have his development folder which is filled in in such detail and full of milestone pictures. He is now more than ready for full-time school in September 2023. I would recommend the nursery to any parent that wants their child to enjoy the great outdoors. The food is excellent value and a very good range and of course nutritional too. The staff are experienced and have been there for a good number of years but are still young enough to run around after the children in that big field!

Overall Experience

We have both our children attending the nursery (aged 4 and 2 years) and we are generally very happy. Both are keen to go and spend the time with the nursery staff and friends, they are caring and have the best interest for the children. Though they are not a pre-school, they help prepare the children

for school: hand washing, toilet ready, dressing up on their own, reading and writing alphabet/numbers depending on the child's pace, reading and writing their name. We feel they have been really good with our eldest son and challenged him more than we anticipated in a positive way. What remains challenging is communication: wanting to know more about the child's progress. We had to request a meeting instead of it being organised/proposed in advance.

My son left this nursery today as he starts school in September. He has attended for the past 3 and a half years since he was a baby. He has enjoyed going to the nursery and been really happy here. When we were potty trained him at home the nursery supported this when he was there and it was a great

joint effort. He engaged in various activities to develop his skills and generally have fun! He often came home with stories of what he had learnt as well as pieces of artwork he had produced. He really enjoyed the food and complimented the chef often at home. The staff and managers are really friendly and helpful and I felt confident leaving my son with them as they are kind and considerate towards children. There are regular events and celebrations parents are invited to attend such as sports day and a Christmas party. My son made lots of friends. My husband and I highly recommend this nursery as does my son!

The Early Year Day Nursery is a lovely environment for the children. The staff are like family. The children interact with each other as a community. The open space outside feels like you are in the countryside, and the children can take long walks exploring nature. The activities are very creative,

and it is easy to engage with the teachers as they are kind and open.

All staff at The Early Years Day Nursery are great with my son. They are kind patient and encouraging. He loves going in every day and comes home telling me what fun they had, each week they learn something new and their recent activity of watching caterpillars turn into butterflies has been one of

his favourites.
Well done to the team and thank you for their continued support.

Lovely nursery. The staff are all really nice, take care of the children well and form a bond with them. This was our first nursery and their efforts to help settle my daughter at a slightly older age than the norm were brilliant. She developed communication skills and also learnt to mix with her peers.

I felt she flourished.

My daughter has been at the nursery since she was a few months old. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. The staff are amazing and absolute experts in all areas of childcare. They helped me to get my daughter to vary her diet, learn the necessary social skills and hit every development milestone.

My daughter is going to school shortly and I will be so upset to say goodbye to the staff, kids and the overall environment. The owner is phenomenal and really cares about all the kids and knows them all personally. She also knows all the parents. It is a safe environment with a perfect outdoor play area, due to the huge playing fields. Overall, I have absolutely loved this nursery and the staff, parents and kids have all been so lovely and warm. I wish them all the best of luck and would have no hesitance in recommending it to anyone with small kids. Thanks to everyone at the Early Years for your care and all your efforts.

I loved everything about this nursery. My son loved his teachers. Everyone were very friendly and creative, I was amazed about the things they have done at the time when my son was there. Now he is in reception year at school and he feels very confident when studying. He has very good behaviour, very

good English (we speak a different language at home). He was very well prepared for the big school, this was very important for us. It is a small nursery, and it feels like home. The owner is brilliant and loves being with the children and teaching them. The meals are cooked there and they can have as much as they want and it is always hot and fresh. They have a big playground and a huge field to explore.
In brief, I loved everything about this nursery.

We are so happy to have stumbled across such a wonderful nursery. It feels like home from home. The staff are wonderful, most of them mothers themselves and our daughter has a lovely bond with them all. Although not a large nursery with one main room the nursery garden is set within a playing field

and it feels as if you've escaped to the country. Meals are prepared on-site, which include a mix of variety and flavours. Our daughter will soon be moving out of the baby room and into the main pre-school room.
